Get ready for an epic 24-hour challenge at our music technology hackathon!
Open to anyone: coders, product managers, musicians, designers, sound engineers, musicologists, and more.
Join us at the Centre for Digital Music and collaborate with fellow attendees in groups of 3-4 to build a creative app from scratch. You can build anything ranging from audio utilities, like a tuner, to music generators or sound effects. Each team gets to decide what they want to build.
You will get access to cutting edge technologies allowing you to build tools faster. Experts will be on hand to help you with the technical parts.
Requirements
A jury will evaluate the best hacks at the end of the hackathon.
The presentations will be livestreamed on the YouTube channel of our partner, The Audio Programmer, with an international jury evaluating the presentations. All apps deemed ready may be released on Muse Hub, and the winner will be featured as the Indie app of the month! This is the ideal launchpad for new ideas and future startups.
Don't miss out on this exciting opportunity to showcase your skills and passion for music and technology!
